Detailed Description

Allocator that does not automatically delete.

A "bump" or "arena" allocator provides memory by simply incrementing a pointer to a memory region in order to "allocate" memory for requests, and doing nothing on deallocation. All memory is freed only when the allocator itself is destroyed. As a result, this allocator is extremely fast.

Bump allocators are useful when short-lived to allocate objects from small buffers with almost zero overhead. Since memory is not deallocated, a bump allocator with a longer lifespan than any of its allocations will end up holding unusable memory. An example of a good use case might be decoding RPC messages that may require a variable amount of space only for as long as it takes to decode a single message.

On destruction, the destructors for any objects allocated using New or MakeUnique are NOT called. To have these destructors invoked, you can allocate "owned" objects using NewOwned and MakeUniqueOwned. This adds a small amount of overhead to the allocation.

Member Function Documentation

DoAllocate()

void * pw::allocator::BumpAllocator::DoAllocate ( Layout  layout )

overrideprivatevirtual

Allocates a block of memory with the specified size and alignment.

Returns nullptr if the allocation cannot be made, or the layout has a size of 0.

Parameters

[in]

layout

Describes the memory to be allocated.

Implements pw::Allocator.

DoDeallocate()

void pw::allocator::BumpAllocator::DoDeallocate ( void *  )

overrideprivate

Releases a previously-allocated block of memory.

The given pointer must have been previously provided by this memory resource; otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Parameters

[in]

ptr

Pointer to previously-allocated memory.

DoGetAllocated()

size_t pw::allocator::BumpAllocator::DoGetAllocated ( ) const

inlineoverrideprivatevirtual

Returns the total bytes that have been allocated by this allocator, or size_t(-1) if this allocator does not track its total allocated bytes.

Reimplemented from pw::Allocator.

MakeUniqueOwned()

template<typename T , int &... kExplicitGuard, typename... Args>

UniquePtr< T > pw::allocator::BumpAllocator::MakeUniqueOwned ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Constructs and object of type T from the given args, and wraps it in a UniquePtr

Owned objects will have their destructors invoked when the allocator goes out of scope.

The returned value may contain null if allocating memory for the object fails. Callers must check for null before using the UniquePtr.

Parameters

[in]

args...

Arguments passed to the object constructor.

NewOwned()

template<typename T , int &... kExplicitGuard, typename... Args>

T * pw::allocator::BumpAllocator::NewOwned ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Constructs an "owned" object of type T from the given args

Owned objects will have their destructors invoked when the allocator goes out of scope.

The return value is nullable, as allocating memory for the object may fail. Callers must check for this error before using the resulting pointer.

Parameters

[in]

args...

Arguments passed to the object constructor.
